"Ordeal by Cheque" by Tena'ea Martin



    On August 30th, 1903 a man named Lawrence Exeter was expecting a baby, but little did he know that his child was going to be a lot of trouble. Well lets jump right into his son's life. When his son was was 6 years of age he was enrolled into a all boy school. Now your probably thinking " how is he a problem, he sounds like any other normal kid ". But hold that thought because in the 22nd of August he was put into Military Acad. now boys that get put into Military Acad. can't be the best of children so he had to be a little of trouble.



   Also when Jr. was 18 his farther bought him a cadillac Sept. 3 of 1921 but 4 days after he had gotten the car it was put into an auto repair shop. So this could show you he was very irresponsible. But his life started to change for the better a litte on Oct. 15th, 1921 when he got enrolled into Stanford University.

  This is where I'm going to throw you off because Jr.'s farther wrote a check to a lady named Miss Daisy Windson on June 1st, 1923 and it wasn't no little check. He wrote this lady a pretty penny so what do you think is going ? Because 8 days later he went on an unexpected cruise to France. I wonder with who? So Lawrence Sr. was up there for about two months.

  Well 3 years later on Feb 13th, 1926 he bought some flowers and not to long after that he bought even more flowers. Your probably thinking "who did he buy all these flowers for". Your going to have to answer that question yourself. But before you do I want to tell you this. August 11th, 1926 it looks like our senior bought himself a new place in Riviera Heightland Co. and he also hired himself a person to decorate his new pad as well. Not to long after he got his new place. He went to the Beverly Diamond & Gift Shoppe. So it looks like Senior is showing out for some special person his life.

  If that doesn't interest you or get you thinking in any type of way, listen to this. That same month he got them diamonds he also took a trip to Hawii. So whoever this girl is, has got to be something special to senior. But I'm going to throw you off a little bit right here Lawrence Sr. wrote his son Jr. a large check for no apparent reason. I wonder why Jr. needed all that money. Do you?

  So I'm going to stop talking about Senior and jump right into Junior. So on July 16, 1926 junior started writing his own checks. His first check was out to a candy store, second check a Gown Shop, and his third check to a Lingerie Store. I don't know why Junior is making all these checks out to female stores, maybe he also got himself a little lady friend. As time passes and a few years go by it was 1929 when a guy named Tony Spagoni got inot the picture. I automatically thought Mob King when I saw his name. Hey call me stereotypical but as the story goes on you'll be thinking the same thing as me, but were not going to get into Mr. Spagoni right now.

  On Nov. 13th, 1930 Junior wrote a check out to a woman named Miss Flossie Wentworth. I think he was having an affair wiht this woman because this was the first time she appeared in story and before he wrote her the check he was buying her flowers and gifts. Also because the next day he wrote a check out to Wall+Smith, Attys.at Law. So he hired himself a lawyer, the next day he wrote a check to Mrs. Lawrence Exeter, Jr. his wife well soon to be ex-wife. On June 20th, 1931 Jr. had gone to court and on that same day he wrote a check to his ex-wife. Also on the same day he paid his and his ex-wives lawyer. 

  A week later or so he probably started gambling because this is where Tony Spagoni got back into the picture and I believe Jr. has a gambling problem. I say this because he paid Tony some money but must of hadn't had enough and had to pay him again but that still wasn't enough. So I predicted that Tony Spagoni hired a guy named Peter V. to go and receive the rest of his money. While Lawrence Jr. was writing the check for Peter, Peter was probably tourted him before he wrote it because Lawrence's handwriting was messier than usual it almost looked like he has was shaking while writing the check. When Peter got the checked he went and gave it to Mr. Spagoni but Mr. Spagoni still wasn't satisfied with the money he had recieved . So Tony sent someone to wack off Lawrence Jr because two days later there was a check made out to Hollywood Hospital. Then after that Lawrenece Senior wrote a check out to the doctor who had worked on his son. Tragically on July 16th, 1931 Lawrence had to attend his son's funeral.
